Secreted levels of TGF-β1, IL-10 and IL-17A in the spleen of mice. (A) Secreted levels of TGF-β1 were downregulated significantly in the MBHP and HBHP groups and upregulated significantly in the Cy group compared with that in the Con group. Levels were decreased significantly in the MBHP + Cy and HBHP + Cy groups compared with that in the Cy group. (B) Secreted levels of IL-10 were upregulated significantly in the LBHP, MBHP and HBHP groups and downregulated significantly in the Cy group compared with that in the Con group. Levels were increased significantly in the LBHP + Cy, MBHP + Cy and HBHP + Cy groups compared with that in the Cy group. (C) No significant differences in the expression of IL-17A were found among groups. **P<0.001 and ***P<0.0001 vs. Con group; ##P<0.001 and ###P<0.0001 vs. Cy group. All data were from two independent experiments, each of which was repeated in parallel three times.
